My dog is only 4 pounds - full grown. Is that enough weight to set it off?

Yes it should work. You can barley touch it and it will shock your hand. It also has a low setting that should be perfect for a small dog
4515
Yes. Weight really shouldn't matter because the mat is activated when something makes contact with the wires that are embedded in the mat.
4516
Yep, we use it for our cats. And I shocked myself before I subjected them and it was just a touch.

I don't know because my smallest dog is 20 lbs. It works for my pug and German shepherd.

I would think so, it works for cats too and they're usually pretty light. I got mine for my Rottie and it worked great! but it has 3 different sensitivity settings so there should b one that works for a little guy too.

I ordered it and something is not right with my product. It fires constantly, so it doesn't matter how much my dog weighs. After using it for a few weeks I think it fired itself out and it hardly zaps anymore. Very disappointed in this product, not worth the money!! Get something else

I don't have a dog but my 8# cat does - they learn fast to stay off of areasMats have caused less stress by humans and my cats

Yes it is too light since my small chihuahua+pug mix weighing only 13 pounds pushed it open and also he can jump over it too and is not tall at all so I don't recommend it unless you got a puppy that is around 8 pounds or less since when my dog was a puppy it was fine as soon as he got big adult size at 13 pounds he learned to open it by pushing it and then breaking it since he pushed it so many times it came apart and after I brought a new one since the other one he broke he ended up learning how to jump over it so it was a waste of money for me i should of got the more expensive higher one

Yes I believe it would be too heavy, but I also got a very light one when my dog was a puppy, and think it would be fine for your dog.

No..My dog is 4.4 lb..but the necklace is still tight..I never have used it..it must bother his neck..Hope it helps.

I'm not really sure because my dog is only 5 pounds. I would only go up to 20 pounds but maybe someone else has a better answer

The manufacturer recommends that it be limited to pets weighing 33 pounds or less. 60 pounds and might be too much for the way these particular steps are constructed, part of what makes this design so attractive is the cantilevered base however that same construction may concentrate too much force through the screw holes. The pitch and spacing of the steps is also sized with smaller animals in mind. My 29 pound beagle uses it fine but a bigger dog might not have enough room on them.

hi. It is really for small pets. Mine weights about 8lbs. I would think no more than 30 lbs.

The instructions say for under 40 pounds; however, if you have a tall, thin dog like mine, the weight is not the issue. I would recommend getting a medium if your dog is 16 inches or taller at the shoulder.

not me. smaller dogs. All I can say is I set it for medium to train my Irish setter mix (60 lbs). The first time it shocked her she literally did a back flip and started yowling. Needless to say, I turned it all the way down before trying it again. So turned up it should at least get their attention?Good luck.

My dog is 14 lbs and my guess is that the dog could weigh more. My dog has a lot of room to stand and move

I think so. My Dog is a Rough Collie, and he weighs 107 lbs. Not fat, just a big boy.

The motion sensor will not set the alarm off it the pets are under 30 lbs. That is in the setup instructions. I have 2 schnauzers that are 25 lbs each and they have not set off the alarm as of yet.

I started it out at the maximum and put his treats in there until he figured it out. After he figured it out then I did not keep it always at max....just added as I needed to. I also started with a rock under it that was just tall enough he could push off then moved the rock away. But mine was also full grown when I got it.

Our dog is about 50-55 lbs, with relatively thin fur. At this point, picking up the remote control unit (whether or not the collar is on) is sufficient.

My dogs are tiny. They only weigh 5 pounds each and at times they could push it over if they did a lot of jumping on them.

Our dog is now almost 18 lbs. And it barely fits him. I would not recommend this for a truely small dog.

Trish, our dog is 70 pounds, and I have to use the maximum setting (H8) to get his attention. I didn't expect to have to use that high a setting.
